VERA prepared wind resource maps for each of Vermont's 14 counties for the Vermont Department of Public Service (VDPS) in May 2004. The maps show estimated average annual long-term wind speeds at two heights above ground cover, and are based on large-scale (200-meter resolution) wind maps produced by AWS Truewind LLC.

The 11 x 17" county-scale maps estimating wind resource at 30 meters above ground cover are available for download below in PDF format. The 30-meter height is appropriate for residential-scale wind turbines and not taller, commercial-scale development. County maps at the 50-meter height may be requested through VDPS.
